“Simplify, Simplify” to quote Henry David Thoreau. A smart guy so I followed his advice, I simplified a rub for a pork tenderloin with wonderful results.

The recipes I like the most are simple and quick. The spice I seem to like the most on my grilled meat is paprika. My wife loves garlic (me too). I decide that was all that was needed for a quick pork tenderloin. Somewhat like my Grilled Paprika-Garlic Split Chicken Breasts being simple and quick.

Notes: I had a “skinny” pork tenderloin. I turned on the grill with chips in the smoker and spent 10 minutes doing the trimming, mixing spices and rubbing. By then the chips were smoking well, and it only took 20 more minutes to cook to 160. As I mentioned before, I usually don’t soak my chips if I only want some for 20-30 minutes. You can skip the smoke, but it does add something.

3) Mix rub in small bowl. Brush tenderloin with a light coat of oil. Apply rub on all surfaces.

4) Grill over direct high heat turning every 5-6 minutes until temp of 150. It only took 20 minutes for my skinny tenderloin. If you have a thick one, I would decrease the heat to medium and expect about 30 minutes.

If you like this recipe or find it useful, the pleasure of a nice 4 or 5 rating would be greatly appreciated. Especially any recipe that has no rating please. Thank You and have a great day.
